In turn, the natural zodiac represents the deeper, spiritual-level view of the planets and stars (“God’s eye view”). At a worldly level, 11th house energies bring in friends, societies and groups, income of all sorts (financial and other life experiences). At a spiritual level, this corner of the ecliptic represents the Guru’s teachings and is a mother lode for insight and understanding. Metaphorically, Kumbha stands as the foot-hills (the gates or portal) to Pisces (Meena), the next house in the sequence of constellations and the place of Spirit (with a capital S) and enlightenment. Thus, you can rely on Jupiter (good luck, expansion, great healing) in Aquarius (foothills leading to Spirit) to function as a major, major blessing on the road to true spiritual awakening. Jupiter, here, of course, is fine for worldly gains too. https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2021/4/13/agni-rocks-time-to-make-your-move monthly 0.5 2021-04-14 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2020/11/18/neidan-yoga-and-friends-in-high-places monthly 0.5 2020-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1605763656099-3FQ5SGIU2MY0GKFQWJ0M/08+Vrishchika+AdobeStock_78040022+%5BConverted%5D.png News - Neidan Yoga and Friends in High Places Vrishchika - the gateway to occult knowledge and experience; a stormy place for all but the hardiest psychic travelers; not the best of destinations for spiritual tourists and day-trippers but a definite port of call for serious and diligent seekers of Light. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1605763539800-8GTUV4AS2RTSPFKXU0WZ/AdobeStock_95266681.jpeg News - Neidan Yoga and Friends in High Places Just follow your heart and natural good sense. https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2020/6/2/sinking-qi-and-expanding-qi-the-start-of-real-practice monthly 0.5 2020-06-04 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2019/12/15/energy-medicine-1-start-with-the-metal-element-lung-and-large-intestine-meridians monthly 0.5 2019-12-15 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2019/9/18/autumn-is-in-the-air-well-almost monthly 0.5 2019-09-18 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2019/6/20/the-maelstrom-breaks monthly 0.5 2019-06-20 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2019/3/7/the-heavens-open-thunder-and-all monthly 0.5 2019-03-07 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/12/19/interested-in-health-here-are-some-tips monthly 0.5 2018-12-19 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/10/22/guru-warms-up-in-preparation-for-march-fireworks-next-year monthly 0.5 2018-10-22 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/10/14/fix-whats-on-top-the-first-step-in-spiritual-qigong monthly 0.5 2018-10-14 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/10/6/spiritual-practice-as-energy-medicine monthly 0.5 2018-10-06 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/9/10/interested-in-spiritual-awareness-you-should-practice-qigong monthly 0.5 2018-10-14 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/5/26/the-path-to-light-yoga-model monthly 0.5 2018-05-26 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/5/19/sun-in-taurus-time-to-plant-seeds monthly 0.5 2018-05-19 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2018/4/30/surya-exalted-in-mesha monthly 0.5 2018-04-30 https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2016/12/26/workshop-on-qigong-and-yoga monthly 0.5 2016-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1482785665524-FSV62J5FKO48MDJ4L795/image-asset.jpeg News - Workshop on Qigong and Yoga https://neidanandyoga.com/blog/2016/11/7/qigong-classes monthly 0.5 2016-11-07 https://neidanandyoga.com/home daily 1.0 2025-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1468786701685-D1KI9836H7EVWPR7R58S/AdobeStock_52051188.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1468788894640-CBZZ2LUK5BECEE1LEL5T/AdobeStock_101192864.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1476216699065-CRBOR7VCN0UDYTB1HHQ4/AdobeStock_96941232.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1476221652492-XSA6R35541IT8WLIJYAR/AdobeStock_54076314.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1548279098884-8VKI0R63T163UF9D43PE/AdobeStock_88713672.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1548279148215-AMHHCQPNCUB2MS3UUG2E/AdobeStock_22568901.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1476213558971-F70998CR7G1S7GZELHAG/image-asset.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1527286453754-3RSRF19AXIG4APW6V5O8/AdobeStock_185532897.jpeg Home Himalayan river — Care to cross?

From the outside, it looks harmless with nothing much to it. Quite true. However, most of the action happens inside—what the practitioner focuses upon. Both sinking qi and expanding qi are traditionally developed via this pose.

Here, viewed from above, the counter-clockwise spiral of water at the surface leads to a vortex of water downwards. However, for qi this is different! Qi is like electricity and follows the right-hand rule. So, again looking down from above: a counter-clockwise movement of qi (fingers curling counter-clockwise) leads to a vortex of qi upwards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609641999407-X3NA8PAXUFKBHZ598FQ7/AdobeStock_244940029.jpeg Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi Vanilla flower and pods - beautiful, useful, tasty and good. Just like this, Vanilla Jyotish definitely fills a need and provides real value for folks. But once you are truly working hard on the spiritual path of transformation and personal growth, more is needed. That’s where yoga and the Jyotish Star Map come in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1624136185029-10SSQFXY4S45YEZ7K8T4/AdobeStock_385339555.jpeg Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi - Make it stand out Milky Way Galaxy - our home galaxy in this universe. It’s called a milky way because the enormous density of stars along its central parts tends to flood the night sky with a soft white light. Very cool. Now if the goddesses and gods (other galactic communities) would just relent on beating up us poor humans, we might all get somewhere. Who knows? Best to hew close to the good and positive. Expect the best … and then work for it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609650049741-3VQJCZDMSELG1M7UPO4K/Western+Chart+-+Primary+and+Secondary+Axes1.png Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi Western Chart for the Natural Zodiac - the main reference point is at the center left (labeled As) with the progression of constellations going counter-clockwise from there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1624138220565-CQHC9D4QG9W60LMGRN5C/AdobeStock_275721347.jpeg Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi - Make it stand out JSM Rule 1 — Start with the primary axis.

To locate, just bend your middle finger until the tip touches the palm. This is the spot! So, PC8 is located between the second and third fingers. Some texts place it between the third and fourth fingers but that’s not used much until at very advanced levels so stick with the second and third fingers for now. PC8 acts like a portal between the upper body energies and the qi field around you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1624078439117-C5IYNKN6J4TV22ODR32J/AdobeStock_75565034+BGZ.png Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi - Make it stand out Baguazhang rocks! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/9b9f0776-2a07-4ea2-b9c6-0c78d0dc87bd/WBM+-+ring+bell+1.PNG Āsanas with Sinking and Expanding Qi - Make it stand out Starting position for the more advanced version of Ringing the Bell.

From this position, you move toward the left leg which bends and at the same time rotate your torso to face the right leg which straightens. Then repeat the other way. That makes one round.

Notice how the planets appear to spiral along as they orbit around the sun. If you viewed a picture of the galaxy’s motion and checked out the sun you would find that it would all look like this. Same dynamics but up one scale of magnitude. That is, you would see the sun weaving in and out and shaping a spiral through space which gets anchored to the galaxy’s trajectory. So, depending on how you look, most objects appear to hustle along in wavy patterns.

It is also clockwise on Western charts but counter-clockwise on South Indian charts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609901519835-1UG0J4IMW25Y0VHG25WD/Sun+movement+-+CM+meridians+-+north+and+east+charts.png Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Flow of qi (subtle energy) through meridians in response to the Sun’s daily movement. Note that this is COUNTER-CLOCKWISE for a north Indian (or western) chart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609902931047-UQVRQAGG1JVXJM79EYU5/Meridian+clock.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Meridian Clock - each meridian covers 2 hours of a day. For instance, Lu (lung meridian) covers the period from 3 am to 5 am. All 12 meridians thus cover an entire day. The time shows when a surge of extra qi passes through the related meridian in response to the passage of the Sun across the sky. For instance, from 3 am to 5 am, one finds extra energy in the Lung meridian. This is exceptionally helpful for healing and transformational work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609904048946-Y34C8D3HF1PKMJ47PBB3/CM+Circuits+-+Ayurveda+Doshas.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Meridian CIRCUITS. Here, there are three groups of four rashis each which correspond directly to three groups of four meridians each. For example, the rashis from Aries (Mesha) to Cancer (Karka) neatly describe the same terrain on the circle as the meridians from LU (lung meridian) to SP (spleen meridian). Further, this meridian grouping also relates to the FRONT third of the body (anterior side) and the Pitta dosha of Āyurveda. The relations go on and on with frankly remarkable flair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609904789879-LP8GW52ELR4J611YNUMJ/Anterior+circuit.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock ANTERIOR Circuit of meridians. Notice that these relate to the first four rashis of the natural zodiac. Each meridian circuit relates to a stage of spiritual development. The conforming groups of rashis do so too. To start, the anterior circuit (and first four constellations of the natural zodiac) represent the PHYSICAL plane (Bhu loka). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609905007038-IGB4XVV28GTAD02P5QQK/Posterior+circuit.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock POSTERIOR Circuit of meridians. Again, note the phenomenal agreement with the next four rashis of the natural zodiac. Here, the posterior circuit (and rashis from Simha to Vrishchika) designate the ASTRAL (occult) plane (Bhuva loka). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609905611876-B2NCF88XGB1TL6DSMQAK/Middle+circuit.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Middle Circuit of meridians. This covers the middle slice of the body and the timespan from late night to very early morning. Aptly so, then, it (and the comparable rashis from Dhanu to Meena) resonates with the MENTAL and higher (spiritual) planes (Svarga loka). In Jyotisha, the devatas (gods and goddesses) find their homes in this neck of the vast cosmic woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609907950884-LAUJNKVO3H0T8NEBU7WZ/Meridian+-+Rashi.png Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Rashis and Meridians mapped to each other. Here there is a perfect overlay between the two models. They are linked at Simha (Leo) rashi which relates to the Heart (HT) meridian. Note that time flows in opposite directions for the two models but BOTH models SYNC at the SAME place, namely, Mesha (Aries) rashi which links to the Lung (LU) meridian. (Note that this point equals 6 am in Jyotisha but 3 am in Chinese Medicine so there is a three-hour shift.) To sum up: both models completely align with each other at two points: the lagna (first house) and the fifth house. In terms of the natural zodiac, these two points are Mesha (Lung meridian) and Simha (Heart meridian). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609970737913-1J87JDKZBQD6NJ8GATS9/Ex+1+-+d1+chart.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Natal chart for client https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609970903844-XRXNFL43USNF63MGG9KM/Ex+1+-+d9+chart.PNG Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Navamsha chart for client https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1609973548248-L5RCI60MY8Q216D39TD7/Graha+Exaltation+to+Acupoint+1.png Rāśis and the Meridian Clock Graha exaltation degree mapped to acupuncture point https://neidanandyoga.com/practice-03-etheric-level-neigong-fifth-chakra daily 0.75 2026-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/1683339541101-M5IH4DI9J3ZTTR5PVA0E/AdobeStock_166273085.jpeg Neigong and Fifth Chakra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/7414137a-9d49-4a72-9a67-c279c62ee3c9/AdobeStock_299703876.jpeg Neigong and Fifth Chakra - Make it stand out African artifacts and jewelry from Cameroon.

Likewise, exhale to inhale is continuous, slow and smooth (this takes a little more practice but can be achieved if you stick with it). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/03641dfd-d962-416f-80b3-fbd12a418898/AdobeStock_167870976.jpeg Neigong and Fifth Chakra - Make it stand out Inhale, pause, exhale, pause and on and on.

On the inhale: diaphragm activates and then the intercostals activate. On exhale: intercostals relax and just a tad later the diaphragm relaxes. This describes what you feel as you breath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/da047e8f-a7b1-4dd7-973f-b0489bc7e198/AdobeStock_242097428.jpeg Neigong and Fifth Chakra - Make it stand out Easy when you know how.

Those flames will become important for your practices of tummo and kundalini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573231d81d07c0bec3e3766a/9ffe36b6-123a-42dd-bb8a-d0d4c21e9f98/AdobeStock_348085564.jpeg Near Space — Local Interstellar Cloud - Make it stand out Vase breathing — by pushing down on the diaphragm and pulling up on the pelvic floor, you pressurize the abdominal cavity from above and below.
